Frequently asked questions about wall mirrors Q: How big should a wall mirror be? IKEA offers smaller circular decorative mirrors or long, rectangular wall mirrors that create focal points in any room. Position the mirror along the wall where it best captures what you want it to reflect-the movements of a big family dinner when hung horizontally in the dining room or your ironing skills when checking yourself out in a wall mirror rising vertically in your home’s entryway. Bigger wall mirrors, hung vertically or horizontally, create stunning displays over or next to furniture. Small decorative mirrors are best centered over small tables in bedrooms, living rooms or hallways. Smaller wall mirrors are great for complementing picture frames in stairwells and hallways as they reflect light and brighten spaces. Selecting the size and where to position a decorative mirror comes down to what kind of an impact you want it to have and the available space.

Or place a long wall mirror vertically to create a focal point at the end of a hallway or to playfully reflect light on either side of a fireplace. Place tall decorative mirrors horizontally over couches in the living room or over a set of drawers in the bedroom to create a stunning visual impact that will create a sense of depth and space while brightening dark rooms. Even small decorative mirrors can have a big impact by creating visual interest while bouncing light off pictures frames, lamps and other furniture. Place a circular wall mirror over your makeup table in the bedroom or over your prep counter in the kitchen. You can use small circular mirrors to draw the eyes and create a bold style statement in entryways or foyers, stairways or the kitchen-or anywhere with limited wall space.

With so many options to choose from, from tall wall mirrors that can be hung vertically or horizontally to smaller circular mirrors, there are options for every part of the house. Besides bouncing light throughout a room, decorative mirrors make rooms feel bigger. It’s easy to add a stunning design element to any room that reflects your style while brightening things up.
